2.1 IP configuration
Most configuration settings for EM-IP can be entered
using the integral web server

Chapter 3 ‘Web server
settings’ on page 10.
Network conflicts
The factory set default IP address and IP configura-
tion of EM-IP may not be entirely compatible with the
target network. It may hence be better to first con-
nect EM-IP during commissioning with a network
patch cable to the PC and to make the required con-
figuration settings explained in section
Ä
Chapter
3 ‘Web server settings’ on page 10.
The Reset button (Fig. 1/1) allows you to choose
between two IP configurations and the original state at
the time of delivery.
If the connected PC is a DHCP client and if there is no
DHCP server, the client should generate its own
address within 60 seconds.
As a consequence, EM-IP can access the web server
even if the network characteristics of the PC are not
changed.
2.2 Required software version
The expansion module EM-IP with firmware 2.0 requires
the following software versions:
EASYLAB or adapter module TAM
– Software version 8.1 or higher
TROX UNIVERSAL CONTROLLER
– Software version 2.1 or higher
The software version is displayed in the EasyConnect
software, ‘Diagnosis’ , ‘Basic Device’ line.
A product sticker on the main PCB also carries the soft-
ware version number (only for version 3 or higher).
With earlier software versions there is no data exchange
between the expansion module EM-IP and controller.
This means that the network is not able to read out cur-
rent values from the controller or to send any values.
You need not adapt the controller configuration with
the EasyConnect configuration software for the
expansion module to work.
2.3 Functions of the Reset push button
Fig. 1: Reset push button
EM-IP has a Reset push button (Fig. 1/1).
Use the Reset push button for the following actions:
2.3.1 Rebooting EM-IP
Press the Reset push button (Fig. 1/1) briefly
(4 seconds max.).
ðThe status LED (Fig. 1/2) becomes red for
2 seconds, then the module is rebooted.
During the start phase, the status LED
(Fig. 1/2) is orange.
2.3.2 Resetting the default IP address
Press the Reset push button (Fig. 1/1) for
5 to 9 seconds (9 seconds max.).
ðThe status LED (Fig. 1/2) blinks green, and
EM-IP is set to the default IP address
(169.254.0.1) until the next reboot.
2.3.3 Activating the DHCP server
Press the Reset push button (Fig. 1/1) for
10 to 14 seconds (14 seconds max.).
ðThe status-LED (Fig. 1/2) blinks green/red
(alternating) as soon as the DHCP server is
activated.
While the DHCP server is active, it waits for
requests from a DHCP client in the network
and allocates an IP address to each client that
sends a request. This function simplifies the
connection from a PC to EM-IP.
